The Roadrunner Theatre Company proudly presents

The Last Five Years

Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown

 

Jason Robert Brown is one of the most exciting composers working in musical theater today, and Chach Snook and Jodi Darling are two of Tucson's most exciting vocal artists. Roadrunner Theatre Company is delighted to bring these talents together for its production of Brown's most beloved work, The Last Five Years, winner of the 2002 New York Drama Desk awards for both Best Music and Best Lyrics. The show will open Friday August 3 for a four week run.
The Last Five Years recounts the half decade love affair between Jamie Wellerstein, a hot-shot, Jewish New York novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, the "shiksa goddess" he's in love with — and it does so almost entirely in music. Its fourteen songs have been described as "jaw-dropping," "relentlessly enjoyable," and "among the great recent achievements of character delineation through lyrics."
Director Mark Klugheit acknowledges the difficulty of the score for performers — composer Brown himself called the task Olympian — but is convinced that in Jodi Darling and Chach Snook he has performers who can do it justice: "Jodi, who has dazzled local audiences in Godspell and other shows, has out-of town credits that include the national tour of Showboat and performing opposite Sandy Duncan in Oklahoma." And as for Chach, Klugheit continues, "he had a terrific singing and acting career in New York, including the national tour of Forever Plaid, and has wowed Tucson audiences with his performance as the student-rebel-leader Enjolras in Les Miserables and his many sold-out concerts as a part of the 4GENTS."
This is a show you will not want to miss; in fact, Klugheit predicts, it may be a show that you will want to see more than once.
Performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00, Sundays at 2:00, August 3-26 at Roadrunner Theatre Company, 8892 East Tanque Verde Road. Tickets $25 with discounts available, at last5years.brownpapertickets.com or 520-207-2491.

Borderlands Theater presents Sanctuary, a new play by Milta Ortiz

 

From: Borderlands Theater <info@borderlandstheater.org>
Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2018 4:55 PM
Subject: Sanctuary

 

Borderlands Theater

Birth of modern sanctuary movement in Tucson chronicled in

Borderlands Theater's latest historical drama: Sanctuary.

 

Sanctuary

A New Play by Milta Ortiz

 

Directed by Marc David Pinate

Presented site specifically at Southside Presbyterian Church

September 6-23, 2018

 

Continuing their signature new plays based on pivotal historical moments in our region, Borderlands Theater presents a timely new drama exploring the origins of the sanctuary movement. Written by Milta Ortiz, who penned 2015's award winning Más, about the banning of ethnic studies classes in T.U.S.D., Sanctuary is based on the people and events leading up to the 1980's Sanctuary movement that ignited in Tucson when concerned citizens took a radical moral stand in support of people fleeing unimaginable violence.

 

As civil war erupted in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, many poured into the United Status seeking refuge. But the Reagan administration had other interests. Humanitarians stepped in and stood up for humanity. Some thirty years later a similar plight arises. There is a direct connection from the older refugee crisis to the current one. A complex issue, Sanctuary kicks off a trilogy of plays dealing with immigrants seeking refuge in the U.S., exploring the U.S. involvement in Central America, its consequences, and response.

 

THE PLAY

In 1981, when Carol and Mica find out about detained Salvadorans fleeing civil war, they set out to process political asylum applications. After they meet Victor, a Salvadoran in a Border Patrol detention center, they realize they're going to need help. They call on Father Hartford, who is first to meet Nidia, another Salvadoran with strong but different opinions on the Salvadoran civil war.

 

Carol and Mica enlist pastor Jeff Chord of Southside Presbyterian Church, who sits on the National Presbyterian Council and before long Quaker Will Hewitt joins the group with ideas of his own. As the number of detained Salvadorans and Guatemalans continues to grow, the group must choose whether or not to stand up for what they believe. Will they choose the law of man or the law of God?

 

A UNIQUE PROCESS

Playwright Milta Ortiz conducted a year of research. Fortunate to have most of the originators of the movement still living in Tucson, she interviewed some of Tucson's most respected leaders as source material. Names have been changed and some characters are fictional composites. Most sources credit a couple of men with beginning the movement and while they were central to the movement, the interviews tell the story of two women who organized everyone.

 

Under director Marc David Pinate's vision the play will be produced at the Southside Tucson church where the movement is credited to have started. The adobe and wood Kiva, already a beautiful and aesthetically charged space, will be theatricalized into multiple stages with professional light and sound systems installed.  "Decades of humanitarian aid and sheer, heartfelt compassion has been expressed within these walls," said Pinate regarding Southside Presbyterian Church as the site of the production, "we're going to conjure up all that powerful energy and infuse it into the production."

 

PANEL DISCUSSIONS LIVESTREAMED NATIONALLY THROUGH HOWLROUND.COM

In an effort to make discussions with immigration specialists accessible, they will be livestreamed through Howlround, a knowledge commons by and for the theater community.

 

September 9th: Originators of the 1980's Sanctuary Movement

Panelists: Margo Cowan, Lupe Castillo, John Fife and Father Ricardo Elford

Moderated by Elizabeth Oglesby Ph.D. Associate Professor of Geography and Development, and Center for Latin American Studies, University of Arizona

 

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

In 1980 the Salvadoran government had imposed martial law on its citizens, which in effect marked the beginning of mass killings. Human rights sources estimate that 18,000 to 20,000 people were killed or "disappeared" in 1980 alone. Thousands of Salvadorans fled the violence, coming north through Mexico to the United States. In the fall of 1981, the killing expanded to Guatemala, which led to a similar exodus.

 

The Sanctuary movement was a religious and political campaign in the United States that began in the early 1980s to provide safe-haven for Central American refugees fleeing civil conflict. The movement was a response to federal immigration policies that made obtaining asylum difficult for Central Americans.

 

In the last months of the Carter administration in 1980, the U.S. Congress passed the Refugee Act, a humanitarian law intended to expand eligibility for political asylum in the United States. The Refugee Act brought U.S. law into line with international human rights standards, specifically the 1951 UN Convention and the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. The United States had ratified the Protocol in 1968, thus becoming bound by the Convention's provisions. While the previous law recognized only refugees from Communism, the Refugee Act was modeled on the convention's non-ideological standard of a "well-founded fear of persecution."

The coincidence of the Central American exodus with the passage of the Refugee Act set the stage for a decade-long controversy that ultimately involved thousands of Americans. The protagonists in the controversy included, on one side, immigrants' rights lawyers, liberal members of Congress, religious activists, and the refugees themselves. On the other side were President Reagan and his administration, the State Department, the Department of Justice (including the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)), and conservative members of Congress. The first group invoked international human rights and humanitarian and religious principles, while the Reagan administration's arguments centered on national security and the global fight against Communism.

The Radio Revival Theatre was originally conceived as a place holder between main stage productions at The Comedy Playhouse, but it has since grown in the hearts of our actors and audience members.  With its original Old Time Radio scripts and musical scores, the Radio Revival Theatre will be sure to have you second guessing what time period you are in.  The Radio Revival Theatre is a live staged reading of two to three classic radio shows performed with live sound effects from our Foley table, period inspired costumes, and even recordings of each classics original score to give you a sense that you have traveled back in time to a 1930's radio broadcast.

 

 

We are always looking for more people to add to our ensemble.  If you are interesting in performing with us, contact us!

 

 

Our special brand of Old Time Radio Theatre was inspired by the late Butch Lynn and his troupe GART (Golden Age of Radio Theatre)  without whom our little piece of history would not exist.

Old Pueblo Playwrights 3rd Annual New One Act Play Festival

Happy warm July day, OPP fans! As the monsoon takes a break this week, the weather may present more opportunities (111 degrees forecast for Tuesday!) to hunker down next to the air conditioner vent and, say, write plays about ex-lovers trapped together in a mountain cabin during a blizzard. Or something cool like that. It might be tragic, or it might turn out to be a comedy. You just never know.

The name of our organization is Old Pueblo Playwrights, but as we are comprised of a group of intrepid writers, many of us branch out to kindred mediums, such as radio drama and screenplays. It has been a while since we've read a screenplay at one of our meetings, so we're really looking forward to reading and discussing John Heyl's screenplay, "Magdalena" on Monday night. Come join us!

Don't forget to catch the 3rd Annual New One Act Play Festival still going on at Community Playhouse (1881 N. Oracle)! Reviews from OPP friends who have seen the show have been excellent, so don't miss it! Shows run tonight, tomorrow afternoon, and Friday through Sunday next weekend.

The Effect

By Lucy Prebble

 

“I can't tell the difference between who I am and a side effect.” Connie and Tristan can’t hide how they feel around each other: Hearts thumping, sleepless nights, and a slightly ill excitement. They’ve fallen for one another, and fallen hard—unless their chemistry is a side-effect of an antidepressant they’re taking as clinical trial participants. The trial’s supervising doctors must untangle the ethical implications of Connie and Tristan's illicit relationship. A passionate and provocative look at the mysteries of attraction.

 

Contains Adult Language and Themes.

Subject: Announcement: August 2018 Discount on Comedy Improv at The Studio for Actors

 

Taste of Improv Class

The Studio for Actors is now offering a "Taste of Improv Class." Here's how it works. Just come on one Wednesday night from 6:30pm-8:00pm for only $30. This class is normally $40, but for the evenings of August 8 and August 22, you can attend for $30 for one class only, and see how much you love studying improv at The Studio. So, if you've always wondered (or if you've never wondered) if you would enjoy comedy improv, this is your chance to check it out.

Call (520) 881-2363 to sign up.  To qualify for the discounted price, you must say the words "Taste of Improv Class" when you call.

* Limit one $30 class per person.

Comedy Improvisation

You don't have to be a funny person to love and get a lot out of a comedy improv class. I can make you funny. Because you have to focus in this class, you can end up taking a vacation from the stuff that goes on in your life, and there's a lot of healing with laughter. Your coach is a former Saturday Night Live cast member, and will give you the accents and the formats you can use as a "safety net." Improv is a great stress reliever and really encourages the ability to verbally communicate. So, come, play, have a ball, and enjoy releasing your own special creativity.

Also, for students of acting, improv enhances your auditions, loosens up the body, helps you think fast on your feet, introduces dialects, and sharpens your timing.4 consecutive Wednesday nights

6:30pm-8:00pm
Start on any Wednesday (but you should call first to sign up).
$40 per week
Don't worry if you have to miss one or even two of the four classes. You simply pay for the class you have to miss and then take class #5 free.  It's even possible to pay $160 at your first class, and then take your last three classes whenever you can make it. (I keep great records.)

To find out more or to sign up, please call Anna Risley at (520) 881-2363.

Also being offered at The Studio for Actors:
Radio/TV Voiceover Seminar
Audition Technique

Each of these classes is taught by Anna Risley at her Studio (The Studio for Actors), located on 6th Street, just off 4th Avenue.  Anna has 30 years of experience in film, television, voiceover, and stage acting.   To check out her resume, please visit The Studio for Actors website , or call her at (520) 881-2363 to sign up.
